pick it up a few months ago. Plans are: car will be striped (just got a few lines to remove left actually) down to the bare unibody, then take car of all the rusted panels, remove all the old paint down to the bare metal including the under coating, primer and paint (i'll be learning how to spray on this one, whatchout!!), im thinking a dark silver. suspension will be mostly stock with all bushings replaced by polyurethane bushing and im thinking illuminas and linear springs of a good brand and plenty of drop, these is still on the drawing board, lately i've been thinking about s13 coilover conversion but idk... Engine is apperantly in really good shape, I got good number on all 6 cylinders-around 170psi-so it will just be refreshen with all new gaskets. I'll also be installing headers on it and a ka throttle body, all emission bs will be removed, intake mani will get cleaned up and still deciding on making my own exhaust or getting an aftermarket one, thinking 2.5. Interior will be clean and simple. Mostly stripped with some aftermarket seats. Trying to find some old recaros in good shape, no luck so far. Im thinking about fixing the dasdhboard cracks, but we'll see. That's pretty much my basic plans for it. On with some real entertainment: When i first got it, 77 280z, stock everything with crunchy ol paint. Not running cuz no gas tank... Changed the oil, put a battery on it, hooked up my injector cleaning tool filled with gas to it just to find out that the injectors were bad on it.... So i went and picked some up from the local junk yard, serviced them, installed themand voila, it fired right up! Not only that but i got really good numbers on a compression test Also i picked up a gas tank, repaired it, cleaned it, just to find out it wasnt the right one smh... i know i know, im still a newbie around s30's, would be a different story if this was an s13/14... Here it is in case anybody is interested so i was ready, so istarted by removing the engine and power washing the car Then the real fun began Ok so here's the main issues, very typical on these i believe Hatch frame:

what do u need? I am getting rid of most of it. In fact i just put some of the interior pieces in the trash can yesterday. As of now, i now for sure that i am getting rid of the playwood/cardboard cover for the spare tire, all the metal braketing on the spare tire compartment, and all the fake leather wraping on the hatch

San Antonio. Plans are: fully restore body, put it on a diet, mild suspension, engine bolt ons. Thanks guys

just introducing myself here. Trying to find the right website/forum to find and share info on my new hobby and ive seen plenty of good info on here, so i'll make an intro and start posting. For some reason the website wouldnt email me the form to complete my registration until today, a couple of months after i first signed up.... My name's Andres, been working on 240sx's for a while now, currently own a 98 rb'ed. I always wanted an s30 as a project and after a few months of looking i finally found what i was looking for, well, kind of.... 77 280z, complete minus a gas tank, in what i think is pretty good shape. I already have plans for it and expect to finish it in about a year or so. I'll be making a build thread to give more details, so I hope u stay tuned. Really looking forward to hear all of your opinions and help with whatever i can. Oh yeah and heres a couple of pix, who doesnt like pix ha?? haha And here's my daily driver s14 Thanks for ur time
